It made them Christ died for Spiritually Rich !
2 Cor 8:9
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Notice "That ye [ The Church of God see 2 Cor 1:1] through His poverty [ made in the likeness of sinful flesh] might be rich.
This is stating a Divine Purpose to be accomplished through His coming and giving His Life for the objects He gave His Life for, the Church of God. Notice to whom this Letter is written 2 Cor 1:1
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
And we know scripture tells us without question That Christ gave Himself for the Church He Loved Eph 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
The end result is to make it Rich.
Remember Christ told some in the Church Smyrna Rev 2:9
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
This is stated to be Christ Purpose for coming into the world in 2 Cor 8:9.
That ye through His Poverty might be rich.
This statement is in the subjunctive mood, which means the result in view is contingent upon a condition, in this instance the condition is Christ being made poor for them. And whenever the conjunction word hina precedes the stated end, it denotes the Divine Purpose is the First Cause, and means "in order that" or "so that"
Christ was made poor in order that ye be made rich !
This includes their sin debt being paid in full and being clothed in the fine linen of Christ Imputed Righteousness and being made rich in Faith. 2 Cor 5:21
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Rom 5:19
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
James 2:5
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
God chose them to be and made them rich in Faith through Christ being made poor for them !
It is God only who maketh Rich 1 Sam 2:7
7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
Now this Truth is True in both a natural sense and Spiritual sense !
God through Christ makes us Kings and Priests Rev 1:5-6
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
You see that " hath made us so" not offer to make, or make it available if you accept it. But He makes it happen !
That word made is the greek word poieō and means:
to make
a) with the names of things made, to produce, construct, form, fashion,
to make a thing out of something
to (make i.e.) constitute or appoint one anything, to appoint or ordain one that
to make one do something
1) cause one to
You see that ? To make one do something. Not ask them to do it, but makes them do it !
This is being made a new creature in Christ Spiritual Kingdom !
All this is a accomplishment of the Atonement and to enter man's freewill into this is nothing less than blasphemy and attempts to steal the Crown that belongs upon the Head of Christ.
